The summit not only celebrated the students' skills but also underscored the importance of cultural heritage and collaborative learning.

Dr. Imee Prescilla P. Sanchez, Head of the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) of LSPU-LBC, praised the efforts of the students and faculty in promoting the rich culture of the Philippines.

“Let us take this opportunity to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of our country,” Dr. Sanchez encouraged.

Students were grouped to represent various regions of the country, including Mimaropa, Bicol Region, CARAGA, NCR, and Central Visayas, showcasing the diversity and cultural richness of these areas.

LSPU Alumnus Batch 2010/2011 Mr. Raldy “Nio” De Guzman, Jr. delivered an inspirational message to the students, encouraging them to chase success by dreaming big.

“You just have to dream bigger. Huwag mong i-allow ‘yong iba na magdefine ng success para sa’yo,” Mr. Nio said.

He also shared a guiding principle from his career: “The quality of work reflects the quality of your character. Focus on excellence in all you do, and success will follow.”

During a personal development session, Mr. Dennis N. Del Mar, Human Resources Management Cabin Crew Sales and Training Manager of PTC Aviation Training Center Inc., advised students to adhere to grooming standards for a lasting impact. He emphasized the power of a simple smile, saying, “Micro efforts will result in macro effects.”
